Description
In this task, Docker API documentation was studied to understand how Docker exposes container information through REST endpoints.
The Docker daemon was accessed through HTTP to retrieve container details.
Steps Performed
- Studied Docker API documentation
- Enabled Docker API access
- Accessed API through browser
- Modified API URLs
- Retrieved container information in JSON format

Screenshot 8: Final Output
Observation
- Docker API endpoints were accessed successfully.
- Container data was retrieved in JSON format.
- External access to Docker daemon was verified.
- API communication worked correctly.
Conclusion
Docker API was studied and implemented successfully.
This experiment helped in understanding how Docker can be integrated with external systems using REST interfaces.
